Brion,
It's been so long since I've directly accessed the server that I've
forgotten the root password and misplaced my copy of the communications
software used to "ssh" my way in.
Which is better, to regain this access -- or just submit the following
request?
Christopher Mahan wants his Wikipedia username changed from 'Chris
Mahan' to 'Christopher Mahan' -- in such a way that his edit history
(i.e., user contributions) remains easily accessible.
By the way, I had told him that "working the system" to get his
name-change accomplished would be a sign that he was a good sysop
candidate. So I'd like to take care of this for him promptly.
